Subject: [Boost-users] [math] round to fraction

Hello all,
I couldn't find a functionality like 'round to fraction', which would try
round a floating point value to its nearby fraction portion:
round2fraction(1.4, 0.5); -> 1.5
round2fraction(1.8, 0.5); -> 2.0
round2fraction(1.0, 0.5); -> 1.0
round2fraction(1.25, 0.5); -> 1.5
round2fraction(-1.6, 0.5); -> -1.5
We have here a private implementation, but this is probably not as optimised
as those numerical guru's can come up with. Is this a good suggestion to add
to Boost.Math or overkill?
